Just how fast is Greenland melting?
2015-12-17 13:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: A new study tracks how Greenland's ice structure has changed over time, including how the melting rate has accelerated in recent years. This latest study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, tracks how Greenlands ice mass and structure has changed over a 110-year period. This fills in crucial gaps in knowledge about Greenlands role in sea-level rise, for which little data has existed until now. We have observation-based estimates that is new and super important, Kristian Kjellerup...
Melting glaciers blamed for subtle slowing of Earth's rotation
2015-12-11 20:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The melting of glaciers caused by the world's rising temperatures appears to be causing a slight slowing of the Earth's rotation in another illustration of the far-reaching impact of global climate change, scientists said on Friday. The driving force behind the modest but discernible changes in the Earth's rotation measured by satellites and astronomical methods is a global sea level rise fueled by an influx of meltwater into the oceans from glaciers, the researchers said. "Because glaciers...

Greenland glaciers found to be melting on fast track
2015-12-10 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Greenland's glaciers are retreating quickly, and a new study shows in historical terms just how quickly: over the past century, at least twice as fast as any other time in the past 9,500 years. The study also provides new evidence for just how sensitive glaciers are to temperature, showing that they responded to past abrupt cooling and warming periods, some of which might have lasted only decades. To track how glaciers grew and shrank over time, the scientists extracted sediment cores from a glacier-fed...

Another Glacier in Greenland is rapidly melting
2015-11-19 14:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: It's big. It's cold. And it's melting into the world's ocean. It's Zachariae Isstrom, the latest in a string of Greenland glaciers to undergo rapid change in our warming world. A new NASA-funded study published today in the journal Science finds that Zachariae Isstrom broke loose from a glaciologically stable position in 2012 and entered a phase of accelerated retreat. The consequences will be felt for decades to come. The reason? Zachariae Isstrom is big. It drains ice from an area of 35,440 square...
